Placemakers Whitianga – Building the Bay

As one of the first major commercial additions in the Whitianga Waterways development, Placemakers opened in early 2007, helping to meet growing demand for trade and building supplies in the region. Strategically positioned on Joan Gaskell Drive, Placemakers provides vital support for the booming residential construction sector in Whitianga and beyond.

The arrival of a national trade brand signalled confidence in Whitianga’s future growth and established a valuable resource for builders, developers, and DIYers across the Coromandel.

Key Highlights:

• Opened early 2007
  
• First major commercial tenant aligned with Whitianga Waterways' master plan
  
• Strong support for local trades, construction, and renovation
  
• High visibility and easy vehicle access with ample trade parking
  
• Long-term contribution to Whitianga’s growing infrastructure
  

Placemakers remains a trusted hub for building materials and trade services, helping build the future of Whitianga—literally.
